Trust news

Mersey Care is experiencing impact due to the phased roll out of Right Care Right Person (RCRP) by Cheshire and Merseyside police. It’s important that we capture impact so we can provide them with information to inform further roll out, making sure we learn together, in the interests of keeping everyone safe. We’ve added fields in our Radar system which help to capture the data we need. RCRP elements of Radar are activated when the answer to the question, ‘Were police called to this incident?’ is ‘Yes’. A series of related questions follow.

Practitioners from across our specialist learning disability community and inpatient services, managers and commissioners came together for a co-production research event recently.
